Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

As soon as Zhu Yuheng entered, he encountered tremendous obstacles, charging through like a madman tearing up the ring. The rocks and ice pillars that clashed with him shattered into a cloud of dust as if glued together, collapsing with a thunderous crash or shooting out rapidly. These stones and ice pillars couldn't delay Zhu Yuheng for even a moment.

"Such a powerhouse!"

Alarmed by the massive noises behind him, Zhu Bufan was shocked. Such destructive power couldn't be matched by even his current strength, unless he was willing to risk his life and use his full strength to perform the Surging Wave Palm.

However, Zhu Yuheng was able to cause such destruction merely with his surging Inner Qi, truly a master at the pinnacle of Postnatal level.

One must know that these layers of Cold Ice had built up over decades, centuries, or even millennia, their hardness comparable to that of ordinary Hundred-refined Iron.

"Cunning little fellow!"

Zhu Bufan was unaware that although Zhu Yuheng appeared to be at ease, his Inner Qi consumption was actually quite serious. The solidity of these ice blocks and stone pillars far exceeded his expectations. One or two might be manageable, but on this icy plain, there was an abundance of ice and stones.

Zhu Bufan was performing the Floating Snow Step Technique, moving as agilely as a fish entering the sea. Within a few breaths, he had once again widened the distance between them.

"Hmph, break for me!"

Seeing the gap widening continuously, Zhu Yuheng let out a cold snort. From the center of his palm, faint golden lights slowly converged to form a massive pillar of golden light.

Boom boom...

The colossal pillar of light, launched fiercely by Zhu Yuheng, swept away all obstacles in its path with a force as overwhelming as a landslide, suddenly revealing a wide path more than two meters across.

"Huff..."

Zhu Bufan took a deep breath and executed a palm strike into the void behind him. The two forces collided with a subdued impact, muffled to the point of being almost imperceptible, but the rebounding shock force was in no way diminished. Zhu Bufan did not rely on movement technique to dodge but instead braced his body against the hit, using the rebounding force to shoot forward like an arrow released from the bowstring, covering dozens of meters instantaneously.

Witnessing this scene, Zhu Yuheng's anger surged. Continuous flashes of golden light sparked from his hands, swiftly clearing the path ahead of him as if with a pair of scissors.

"Kid, so you're running? I want to see just how much Inner Qi you have and how long you can sustain it," Zhu Yuheng thought, calmer now. His fierce gaze followed Zhu Bufan's nimble movements, and the once subdued desire to seize what he wanted began to boil once more.

"If I possessed that Step Technique, then my strength would surely rise to a whole new level!"

"This is not the way to go!"

Soon, Zhu Bufan felt that something was amiss.

The previous fierce battle with the bald strongman had already caused significant depletion of his Inner Qi. Now, sprinting with all his might also consumed an astonishing amount of Inner Qi. His current recovery rate couldn't keep up with the consumption, and he was starting to show signs of Inner Qi deficiency.

"Do I have to fight with all my might?" Zhu Bufan pondered anxiously but immediately dismissed the idea of turning back for a deathmatch, knowing that he stood no chance against Zhu Yuheng. A full-on battle would undoubtedly lead to certain death.

"But once my Inner Qi is exhausted, it's still a path to certain death! That old guy is no longer in a rush to attack me. It seems that the tactic of trying to deplete his Inner Qi is no longer viable. Now, it's him wearing out my Qi!"

Zhu Bufan mulled over his options but couldn't come to a decision. It was clear to him now that Zhu Yuheng was waiting for the moment his Inner Qi would fail.

"It seems I can only try to provoke him!" Zhu Bufan thought to himself.

"Old ghost, why aren't you chasing your young master anymore? If you don't chase me, your young master, I'm going to leave!"

"Old beast, did you skip your meal? Why are you running so sluggishly?"

"Old dog, are your legs wobbly? Can't run anymore?"

"Turtle grandson, come on, hurry up and chase your young master!"

...

One offensive remark after another was shouted from Zhu Bufan's mouth, and at the same time, Zhu Bufan kept taunting Zhu Yuheng with various provocative gestures, his eyes brimming with severe disdain.

However, faced with Zhu Bufan's every insult, Zhu Yuheng seemed as if he hadn't heard a single word, always maintaining a faint smile.

"Haha, kid, provocation doesn't work on me, those are old tricks I'm tired of!" Zhu Yuheng laughed boisterously.

Seeing Zhu Yuheng so slyly ignoring Zhu Bufan's humiliations made Zhu Bufan's teeth itch with hate, but there was nothing he could do about the old guy.

"Not good, my Inner Qi is about to run out!" Feeling his breath becoming increasingly sluggish, Zhu Bufan thought in alarm.

But just when Zhu Bufan was at a loss, suddenly, a burst of intensely cold energy erupted from his bosom. Soon after, this icy power, uncontrollable in the slightest, poured into Zhu Bufan's body.

His previously exhausted Dantian, under the impact of this cold energy, was like a breached dike hit by a flood, surging into the Dantian, and within two breaths, completely filled Zhu Bufan's Dantian. For a moment, Zhu Bufan felt his whole body brimming with Inner Qi, not only returning to his peak condition but even faintly on the verge of a breakthrough.

Similarly, once it reached the limit of what Zhu Bufan could endure, the cold energy very consciously ceased its supply and magically disappeared. Afterwards, the chilling energy stopped and warmth returned.

"It's that magical blue Crystal Stone!" Zhu Bufan accurately determined its location from the direction of the gentle energy.

"Haha, I'll run you to death!" The sudden change filled Zhu Bufan's heart with triumph, and he couldn't help thinking spitefully.

His figure moved, and his speed instantly surged.

At first, Zhu Yuheng didn't find anything strange, but as time went by, he began to feel that something was amiss.

According to his estimation, Zhu Bufan should have been drained of Inner Qi by now, collapsed on the ground, but his speed not only hadn't decreased but had become even faster than before.

"How peculiar!" Zhu Yuheng muttered to himself, full of puzzlement, "Could this kid have an Elixir that quickly restores Inner Qi?"

These were merely speculations by Zhu Yuheng, but as time passed, he silently affirmed his guess.

"I really can't tell how many secrets this kid has!" Watching Zhu Bufan's extremely agile figure, Zhu Yuheng thought to himself.

After interacting with Zhu Bufan, everything he had shown, all of it, was shocking to him.

The eerily nimble movement technique, the formidable cultivation talent, the poison used to kill the bald man, the Elixir that could rapidly restore Inner Qi...

All of this made Zhu Yuheng secretly vigilant in his heart while also giving rise to different thoughts!

"Is it really right for me to get involved in these muddy waters? Just to please the Third Lady? Could there be someone backing this kid..."
