Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

'Boom!!!'

A blue ice dragon-like light arc clashed violently with the yellow giant blade phantom, and in the midst of the roaring explosion, both of them were scattered by the force erupting from the epicenter!

Zhu Bufan's figure swayed, his Floating Snow Step Technique delicately moving, deflecting the surging power from his body. He didn't retreat far and without the slightest hesitation, he gritted his teeth and charged forward once more, unleashing the third strike with renewed frenzy.

For this third strike, Zhu Bufan no longer held back. The amplifying method of the Surging Wave Palm was already executed, as waves of raging tide sounds emerged from him. At the same time, Zhu Bufan's entire body turned crimson from the immense strain of this palm strike.

The bald brute had already been shaken by the first sword light and the second wave of attacks had turned his complexion deathly pale, nearly causing him to spew a mouthful of fresh blood. Yet, after several rapid changes in expression, he forcefully suppressed the urge to cough up blood... However, the shock in his eyes could no longer be concealed!

How could he possibly imagine that the so-called waste of the Zhu Family, notorious throughout Nanli City, possessed such tremendous strength?

How old was he? Fourteen? At the middle stage of the Eighth Rank? A fourteen-year-old who reached the middle stage of the Eighth Rank, he's a waste? Then what were they? What were those so-called 'geniuses' of their families who only managed to reach the late or peak of the Seventh Rank in their late twenties?

But now, he no longer had time to be shocked or terrified, for the opponent's third wave of attack was already upon him!

However, this round of attack did not carry the same grandeur as the previous two; it was just an ordinary pair of palms. Yet, the bald brute dared not underestimate him in the slightest, whether it was the sound of raging tides coming from Zhu Bufan, the strange crimson flooding his body, the abrupt thickening of Zhu Bufan's arms, or the sudden surge of inexplicable panic, all compelled the bald brute to concentrate fully.

The bald brute had to face a reality: he was being driven to a life-or-death crisis by a junior of the Zhu Family, a mere fourteen-year-old!

The bald brute clenched his teeth tightly, and after a flash of thought, his eyes also revealed a fierce sharpness!

He was a death-defying fighter, accustomed to skirting the edge of life and death. In all his previous battles, he had never retreated an inch, and now, due to extreme shock, he had retreated twice in succession. But this time, the bald brute chose not to retreat. After shaking off the aftermath of the second wave of attack, he faced Zhu Bufan's imminent third strike head-on!

He stomped his foot, took a deep breath, and his Earth Attribute Inner Energy of the late Eighth Rank instantly surged through his chest, suppressing the fluctuations of his blood and qi. Immediately following, his body was enveloped in a layer of dazzling earthy yellow light, and the long saber in his hand seemed to transform into a blinding Golden Saber in an instant!

Then, with a fierce stomp of his foot, he lunged toward Zhu Bufan's palms, thrusting mightily!

Thick Earth Technique! Late stage of the Eighth Rank!

At that moment, the bald brute had astonishingly broken through the constraints of the middle stage of the Eighth Rank and advanced to the late stage.

The entire space seemed to be cleaved by a supremely sharp aura! Amidst the 'hiss' sound, where the long saber passed, the air churned wildly!

"Kid, you may have shocked me, but you're still far from being able to kill me!"

The bald brute thrust his saber viciously, and the earthy yellow saber phantom emerged once more!

Earth Element is best known for its defense, but in the end, with the support of robust Inner Qi, all Cultivation Techniques possess a formidable attack capability.

A surge of blue light waves shot out fiercely from Zhu Bufan's palms, intersecting with the yellow-brown saber phantom. These two distinctly different powers carried equally tremendous momentum and sharp Killing Intent, violently meeting midair!

Then…

Boom!...

Another loud explosion resounded!

"Pfft!"

Zhu Bufan suddenly spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood and his whole body was blasted backward! Although he had seized the initiative, the bald man had unexpectedly made a breakthrough, reaching the Late Eighth Rank, catching Zhu Bufan somewhat off guard. Combined with the heavy toll of the Surging Wave Palm, it caused Zhu Bufan to get injured and sent flying!

However, Zhu Bufan did not sustain too severe an injury, it was just an aggravated burden on his body for the moment, along with the aftershocks of the clash, that led to some internal reverberation.

But the bald man had it even worse. He immediately coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood. A flash of shock passed through his eyes, which were also laced with a hint of despair. Zhu Bufan's Surging Wave Palm had a two-fold amplification effect, thus it could deliver a dual-layered attack. The first layer had wounded and sent him flying back, while the second and more incisive wave chased after him.

However, just as he was about to close his eyes and await death, Zhu Yuheng, who was at his side, made his move. His figure flickered and instantly appeared behind the bald man, condensing two golden light images in his arms, and violently slapped down towards the blue Light Arc.

"Boom, crack crack…"

The two forces collided, triggering an even more fierce explosion. The powerful shockwave howled out in all directions.

Zhu Bufan put all his effort into performing the Floating Snow Step Technique, but the impact was so forceful, and the air currents so chaotic, that the effectiveness of the Step Technique was severely compromised. Zhu Bufan only managed to mitigate a portion of the explosion's force, bearing the brunt of it himself. His chest was a bloody mess, with large amounts of fresh blood spilling from his mouth.

And Zhu Yuheng, because he needed to protect the bald man, dared not move an inch. Faced with the powerful aftereffects of the explosion, he could only take the full brunt of it; his whole body seemed to be coated in a layer of golden paint, constantly shaking amidst the strong currents.

Even with his Tenth Rank strength, he could not avoid sustaining some injuries in the blast, a trickle of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, which he wiped away subtly.

Immediately, an extreme Killing Intent crystallized in Zhu Yuheng's eyes, and a malicious glint suddenly flashed!

"This young man must not be allowed to live!"

Of course, that would happen after squeezing out the Martial Arts techniques Zhu Bufan had Cultivated.

As for the bald man behind him, he was fully utilizing the strong defensive capabilities of the Earth Element Technique. In front of him, a tortoise-shell-like Light Shield appeared, enveloping him securely. Should any shockwave emerge, it would leave ripples on the yellow-brown Light Shield before dissipating completely.

At the same time, a moment of realization flashed through the bald man's mind! Without a moment's hesitation, he 'hissed' and drew a deep breath, and the Earth Attribute Inner Energy of Thick Earth Technique from the Late Eighth Rank surged once again, forcefully suppressing the tearing pain in his chest!... The bald man was well aware that forcibly suppressing his injuries like this could potentially cause permanent damage in the future, but at this point, he couldn't care less.
